Thanks for the report.  It looks like we could work around this by
teaching spgGetCache to not try to get the lastUsedPages info for
a partitioned index.  (The rest of what it does is still valid for
partitioned indexes.)  I wonder though if there are any other similar
bugs --- obviously, non-btree partitioned indexes haven't been
tested sufficiently.

It should be possible to exhibit similar problems long before 3c569049b,
I would guess.
